BRAND: A Very Wide-band Receiver for the EVN
Other conference contribution, 2017
BRAND stands for BRoad bAND EVN, a project to build a prototype primary focus receiver with the very wide frequency range from 1.5 GHz to 15.5 GHz, to investigate secondary focus solutions, and to make a survey of the EVN telescopes in order to set the stage for equipping all EVN stations with such a receiver as soon as possible. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730562 and is a Joint Research Activity (JRA) in the RadioNet programme. We present the motivation, aims, scope and status of the project which was started on January 1st, 2017.
